Hi, I have a base for all of our book projects. Each book get a tab in which I work with the Gantt view. Can I do a sync of all the tabs into a new tab with the same Projects base to see all the Gantt view at once or should I record link somehow? Thank you.

There was some recent update where comments from the notification bar open in the interface they were created in… when I get to that interface, there may not be a comment block for the table the comment is in, and the record may not even be in the table anymore due to filters. It is quite a big effort to read all the comments that have been directed to me, involving remembering the record name the notification cited, finding and opening that record if it is still on the interface, or tracking it down in the base if not.

Hi all. I am attempting to embed a grid into a WordPress website and it seems that there is a width limitation. Is there a way to increase the dimensions of the grid in Wordpress? Thanks in advance.

Hi! This isn’t much of a support ask as it is a request for certain features, so please bear with me. I am sure you have heard payment integration for forms a gazillion times, but that and pagination for forms would be great. I, unfortunately, must create some long questionnaires and it would be nice to have pages within the form instead of the long scroll. Thanks for all you do!

In the documentation it is provided that we can do a conditional roll up. But i can’t see the option in the tool. Attaching the image for reference.

Not sure these types of posts are cool here, I initially asked this same question over in Reddit but didn’t get much help, so I’ll try to keep this as brief as possible. Anyways, I started at a company in March assuming it would just be a part-time role as one of their drivers, however I used my Airtable skills to build a really basic driver app (AT + Softr) which helped me land a unnamed and unstructured promotion. All that was proposed was moving to the new marketing department and helping to establish structure. I now spend most of my time rebuilding internal workflows with Airtable while also creating a company knowledge base (in Coda). Recently I was asked to come up with a name for my title, but I’m kind of stumped. I don’t have a formal education beyond an Associates and I don’t have any professional credentials (eg. project manager, engineer, etc). Are there any titles you’ve come across that help clarify / showcase the value we bring with tools like AT

I can not figure out how to set the ‘Today’ date to my local time, so in my Gantt view, the blue line is always a day behind.

Hello, I have an issue with airtable calendar views: For each records of the table I have 2 event (IN and OUT), and for each event a collaborator (can be the same one but most of the time collaborators are differents from IN to OUT events) I want to have calendar view for each collaborators with only the event there are responsible for. But when I filter, it’s not working well because it’s also showing the event where the collaborator was for the IN but not concern for the OUT (not easy to explain) For exemple: I have a record: Ms Bond From (IN) 23/08/22 to (OUT) 25/08/22 For the IN event: collaborator is Tony For the OUT event: Collaborator is Elon I created a calendar view for Tony and an other calendar view for Elon In the tony view i filtered “Collaborator IN = Tony, or Collaborator OUT = Tony” In this view i see the IN event: normal Tony is in charge, but i also see the OUT event, because even if Tony is n

Hi our homepage views have suddenly gone blank displaying no data - if we apply a filter the relevant data appears but without a filter nothing is showing. Personal view are not effected. This is very troubling - we initially thought our whole database was lost. Please can you help us understand why/how this is happening and how to prevent it happening in the future. many thanks Clare

Im looking to create an extension that shows dropdowns for various fields in my base, but I don’t know how to make the dropdowns appear within the extension. I’ve tried returning the select field as well as using it with a FormField but neither approach works. I’m unsure as to how to make the dropdowns appear in the extension

Is it possible to add day before date?

Hello, In my base I have 2 tables: Users and Emails. They are linked together because one user can have multiple emails. Users Id|First name|Last name 1|John|Doe 2|Sam|Harison Emails Id|Address|User id 1|john.doe@gmail.com|1 2|sam.harison@gmail.com|2 3|sam.harison@yahoo.com|2 I want to create a form in which user has to provide first name, last name and one or more emails. How can I achieve this in Airtable? Of course after submission data should be stored in tables with correct relationships.

A general question to the Airtable community, what is expected when email notification are switched on and a mention is done in the comment section on a record. So far I have been unable to make this work between collaborators - and not sure what I am doing wrong. I don’t see anyone else with this issue so believe it must be me. Is the email instantaneous - or with delay? Many thanks.

Good Morning! I have a project field that is synced externally and uses a formula. I wanted to use that same project field (with the formula), to link to a tasks field. For some reason, I cannot link the Project Field to my Tasks field. The Projects field does have automation as well. Any tips?

Hello everyone. I have a base with several tables and collaborators. I need to restrict viewing a complete table or several columns within a table from some collaborators, but at the same time that table or columns should be visible to other collaborators. Can anyone help me to find a solution? Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone, I have a start date field and a duration type field and I’m trying to create an end date with a formula DATEADD({ :gear: Appointment Start Date},{Duration},‘minutes’) This doesn’t seem to do anything i.e. the end date is the same as the start. Any ideas? Cheers

This may have been covered, but I cannot find it. I have a field that has several emails in it. It is a lookup field I need to extract the first email in the list. Can someone help me with the formula?

Wondering if/how to make this possible… I want to have have a single table embedded into a website/app that displays records. Want to filter what records can be seen based on the logged in user of said app. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have an “id” column in my table. How can I generate sequential “id” after submitting the form? |id|First name|Last name| |1|John|Doe| |2|Mary|Jane| |3|Raplh|Smith| I.e. after creating a new record “Tony Jones”, id=4 should be added automatically.

Hello, I need to migrate all the data (+ automations and formulas!) to another Airtable. Is there any way to do this? I found Free Airtable to PostgreSQL migration tool but it offers only migration of the data, not the formulas and automations.

Hello, I have a table to input hours for tasks. These task are linked to a country and a profile. Simple, in generic. People input 40 hours a week, to profile 1 and country 2. But I have a problem with a department. This department, already has more granularity in tasks, and they input 40 horas for a specific task wich is alreadly linked to profile and country. I can add to the table two columns with profile and country lookup , when they input this task, but i need to copy automatically this field to the original linked field country and profile in another columns. I read a lot in the forum, but any solution is accomodating to my problem. Maybe some script? many thanks for your support

HI Everyone, I have a couple of bases that are synced, I want to move them to a new account.; This obviously breaks the sync between them. What is the best way to sync them back together after the move? It seems its not possible to reconfigure the table to sync with the new base. Is there a better way than creating new tables and then having to modify of the links and lookups?

Continuing the discussion from Seeking a Volunteer Airtable programmer: Please take a look at this old post and reach out if you can help!

I have a table that is populated by a form where volunteers sign up for a specific event. Those events are shown in a field that is linked to another table that contains the events. My problem is that, in the shared form, the only field that appears in the grid is the 1st column, which does not contain enough information. I want to see more fields in that grid. What am I missing? Second image shows what I see (not enough information), 1st image shows what I want to see in the shared form. Thanks in advance.
